Re: Macrobiotic Athletes

Hi,
I'm a runner and have been trying to get a grasp on my macrobiotic diet for ~3 months now (vegan for 6+ years). Anyway, I've found whole grain to be the key to my workouts. A bowl of millet + ground flaxseed 1 hour before I head out provides me with enough energy. It sorta makes sense too. Complex carbohydrates, like whole grains, take longer to break down and in doing so, provide for a longer source of energy.
